Then, I must have seen you on post one time or another, 48th Trans Battlion was in top of building where the PX was and we were billetted one building over to the right – we were on different floors at different times. Do you remember Sgt Maj Saley? I served with him in Korea, 1966-67, my last year before I left the Army. Funari was an interesting few years, for me.
